El Sayed’s Ad Is Designed To Be Antisemitic

A political ad backing Abdul El-Sayed tells Michigan families that America’s support for Israel is part of the reason they cannot afford groceries. It turns Israel into the culprit for economic pain and casts Americans who support Israel as politicians bought by a foreign power, choosing Israel over their own neighbors. That is the old dual-loyalty smear dressed up as a grocery-price argument.

“Even though the rage of the people sometimes flares high against the eternal blood-sucker [Jew], it does not in the least prevent him from reappearing in a few years in the place he had hardly left and beginning the old life all over again. No persecution can deter him from his type of human exploitation, none can drive him away; after every persecution he is back again in a short time, and just the same as before.” – Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

The ad comes from Rebellion PAC, founded by Cenk Uygur. It links U.S. aid to Israel and the war in Gaza to the cost of food, while accusing Republican Mike Rogers of putting Israeli interests ahead of Michigan families. The Anti-Defamation League’s Jonathan Greenblatt condemned the ad as scapegoating Israel.

The figures expose the absurdity of the accusation. The United States spends an estimated $80 billion annually to maintain its military presence abroad. Japan, Germany, South Korea, Qatar, Italy and the United Kingdom together account for tens of billions of that cost. Israel receives $3.8 billion in regular annual military assistance – less than five percent of the $80 billion estimate. The ad singles out Israel while ignoring the vastly larger cost of America’s global military posture.

The Ukraine comparison is just as revealing. Since the wars began, the United States has provided roughly $127 billion in assistance to Ukraine, compared with $21.7 billion in military aid to Israel—about six times as much for Ukraine. The Russia-Ukraine war has caused an estimated 610,000 deaths, compared with roughly 77,000 in the Israel-Hamas war. That is about eight times as many deaths in Ukraine.

America’s own casualty record sharpens the contrast. More than 65,000 U.S. service members died in the recent direct wars: Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Gulf War and the U.S.-Iran war. In the wars Ukraine and Israel are fighting against America’s adversaries, three American soldiers were killed in Jordan by an Iran-backed militia.

The ad offers no evidence that aid to Israel drives grocery prices. Instead, it directs public anger at Israel and at Americans who support its right to defend itself. It turns pro-Israel sentiment into an accusation of disloyalty: if you support Israel, you are supposedly taking food from American families.

Dana Nessel, a fellow Michigan Democrat – who has endorsed El-Sayed – has already warned her party to stop making Israel and AIPAC the villains in every political story.

Cenk Uygur’s PAC turns grocery prices into an indictment of Israel. His nephew, Hasan Piker, supplies the online megaphone. Zohran Mamdani and El-Sayed give this politics electoral respectability. The message running through it is profound Jew hatred: Jews who support Israel are foreign agents, their loyalty is suspect, and their political participation is a threat to ordinary Americans.

“Trade and all money business he considers his very own privilege, which he exploits ruthlessly. Financial business and trade have become altogether his monopoly.” – Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

If this was all about money to foreign countries, if it was all about military spending, if it was all about people being killed, the ad would have mentioned Japan and Germany and Qatar and Ukraine. But it only mentioned one conflict, one country, and featured one government: Israel, and targeted its supporters.

Nessel has told them to stop. Jewish groups have told them to stop. Instead, they are doubling-down as elections approach.

Every Democrat who stays silent while Zionists are cast as the cause of Americans’ financial hardship helps make antisemitism acceptable. Voting for these candidates and promoting their backers accelerates the demonization of Jews.

Judging the Judges of Psychopaths

A suicidal antisemite walked into a church school in Minnesota and opened fire. He left behind rants of depression and hate. He idolized the mass murderers who came before him — Hitler, Columbine, Christchurch, Pittsburgh — and fantasized about joining their ranks in death.

It is a sad story. Sad for the victims, whose lives were cut short. Sad for the shooter’s family, who must live with the legacy of his murders. Sad for society, which must add another notch to the ledger of preventable carnage.

But I pause on the judges. Not the judges in robes who preside over courts of law — this menace took his own life and will only face a real judge in the afterlife, if you believe in one. The judges I mean are the self-appointed arbiters of truth on social media, the pundits with millions of followers who rush to craft a narrative before the blood on the church floor has dried.

Narratives Over Facts

Cenk Uygur, founder of The Young Turks, quickly posted on X that the killer “hates Israel and Muslims.” Two deliberate misdirections.

First misdirection: He didn’t hate Israel in the abstract. He hated Jews — which is precisely why he hated Israel. On his weapon magazine he scrawled, “6 million wasn’t enough.” That wasn’t about Israel. That was about Jews. In his journal he wrote “If I carry out a racially motivated attack, it would be most likely against filthy Zionist jews,” before calling Jewish people “entitled” and “penny-sniffing” and adding “FREE PALESTINE!”

He even called for destroying HIAS, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society that helps resettle refugees in the U.S. His antisemitism and anti-Israel animus were inseparable. He loved Nazis and he loved Palestinian Arabs who killed Jews. Cenk only loves the latter, because it allows him to hang his “anti-Zionist, not antisemitic” credentials where he cannot with the former.

Second misdirection: The shooter never expressed hatred of Muslims. He praised mass murderers — including some who targeted mosques — but not because he despised Islam. His adoration was for the act of mass killing as a pathway to glory. He wanted to die a martyr in the suicide-mass murder cult, to etch his name in the pantheon of psychopaths and inspire the next one, just as he inscribed their names on his gun, as well as “mashallah,” meaning “Gd has willed it” in Arabic.

The Sanitizers

So why did Cenk say what he said? To refit the crime into his own comfortable narrative. To launder the reality that this shooter’s rants — about Jews, Israel, HIAS — were fueled by the same demonization that Cenk himself mainstreams daily.

This is how today’s judges operate. They aren’t rendering justice to take the wicked off the streets. They are sanitizing their own crimes by placing their incitement onto a scapegoat and pushing it off a cliff. They hope you will move on, and not notice their bloody handprints on the crime scene of young children dead on a church floor.

But be clear, Cenk and others like him are inciting the next mass shooter. They just hope the murderers come for Israel supporters.

Conclusion

There are no winners in these tragedies. The dead are buried, the families are broken, the shooter is gone.

But the lies linger. The venom feels less poisonous once imbibed and cleansed by the antisemitic judges.

When influencers and media stars twist a killer’s words into their preferred stories, they are not exposing truth — they are covering their own complicity.

The Minneapolis shooter’s manifesto was clear enough. It will likely be on the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) book-of-the-month club reading. The world is sad and unjust and we must burn it down. Ideally, start with the Jews. If you can’t, make sure your manifesto reads like a modern day Mein Kampf that would make Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) proud.

The killer’s sphere of desecration was relatively small. Tragic, but limited. But the shrill antisemitic rants atop social media and infiltrating politics grossly widen the diameter of the damage.

The lingering tragedy is that the loudest voices have become the judges, and that will mark our entire society for collapse.

The Alt-Left And Radical Muslims On The New ‘Rothschilds’: AIPAC and Jared Kushner

The alt-right and White Supremacists have long vilified wealthy Jews as out to destroy the world for their own selfish profit. It was one theme of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf and some right-wingers condemnation of Jewish billionaire George Soros today. The alt-left and Radical Muslims are doing the same, mostly around the Jewish State.

The Palestinian political-terrorist group Hamas led the charge. In its foundational 1988 charter, the militant jihadists lied that Jews started global wars to amass huge wealth in Article 22. It added to the antisemitic point in Article 32, that Jews’ greed will make them want to steal land throughout the Middle East like they did in Palestine.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who considers herself a Palestinian-American, echoed these sentiments and took the slander to the shores of the United States. In a speech delivered to the Democratic Socialists of America in 2021, she said that Jews “exploit the rest of us, for their own profit,” and do it everywhere “from Gaza to Detroit… [as a] way to control people, to oppress people.” To be clear, that this is a global Jewish conspiracy, she added “open the curtain and look behind the curtain, it’s the same people who make money and—yes they do—off of racism.”

The money and oppression theme of the extreme left and radical jihadists has started to identify specific names instead of generic Jews and Zionists. The current primary targets are Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump’s Jewish son-in-law, and AIPAC which backs pro-Israel policies and Democratic and Republican politicians supporting those policies.

Kushner worked with Trump in creating the Abraham Accords which brought normalization agreements between Israel and four Muslim-majority countries. He also put forward an extensively thought-out plan to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict which went nowhere. His views on the current Hamas war from Gaza were therefore sought out at the Harvard Kennedy School as part of a series of talks with people with a wide range of views on the current war.

Kushner commented that Biden spent no time on the region until now and bemoaned the fact that Hamas used the last seventeen years to invest in a battlefield infrastructure with hundreds of miles of underground tunnels rather than build a functioning economy. He noted that there was no reason that Gaza could not have become beautiful luxury waterfront had its leaders had more peaceful intentions. Unfortunately, Israel now needs to rid the region of the evil extremists and Kushner thought that maybe to protect Gaza’s civilians during the war, Israel should allocate a section of Israel’s Negev as a safe haven where they could be relocated until Hamas was defeated.

The alt-left chose to deliberately cherry-pick parts of Kushner’s comments to suggest that he was in favor of ethnically cleansing Gaza, killing every Arab and then putting up luxury condos with Trump’s name on top. It was a classic ‘Rothschild’ smear in which Jews advocate for war against non-Jews to steal and make money. Cenk Uygur, an alt-woke candidate for president who runs a site called The Young Turks, said that Kushner was “salivating over ethnic cleansing opportunities,” to get rich. Seemingly knowing that his comments reeked of antisemitism he added that you couldn’t call him an antisemite because Jews are like “the boy who cried wolf.”

AIPAC is the accompanying bogeyman for the extremist left and militant jihadists. The left-wing fringe group Justice Democrats launched a campaign called ‘Reject AIPAC’ in which they demonize AIPAC as a shady organization launched by Zionists and billionaires to ethnically cleanse Gaza.

The radical politicians backed by Justice Democrats echo the evil Jewish money-theme, that rich Jews are targeting American minorities so Zionists can go on killing and stealing.

The alt-left attempts to invert the narrative when Jews point out the antisemitism, declaring that Zionists are Islamophobic in yet another disgusting smear attempt.

Antisemites have always come in a variety of political stripes and colors but are always easy to identify by their ‘Rothschild’-vitriol against Jews as foreign, racist meddlers in local matters who are consumed by unquenched greed.
